Dear John,
We are happy to invite you to five NDN webinars over the next two weeks:
Friday, May 15th, 2pm - COVID Briefing With Simon & Rob: Please join us today for our semi-weekly webinar featuring Simon Rosenberg and Rob Shapiro discussing the latest updates and analysis on COVID-19. The briefing will take place on Zoom and will last for 45 minutes. If you would like to attend, please register at this link. As background, Rob published a new piece in The Washington Monthly this week discussing how unemployment in April was even worse than the 14.7% number published last Friday, which you can read here. As well, Simon recently published a new piece about how to manage the 75 million young people who will be away from school and summer camp as a result of COVID over the next several months (link here), as well as one that discusses how COVID's spread through the White House within days of its reopening is a lesson for how hard it is going to be to open up the country in the days ahead (link here).
Wednesday, May 20th, 2pm - “With Dems, Things Get Better” Webinar: Please join us next Wednesday for the latest showing of our "With Dems, Things Get Better" webinar. This project builds on a body of our work over the past few years, and makes the argument that one of the defining political developments of our time is just how different the two American political parties have become. The webinar will be a data rich dive into America in this new age of globalization since 1989, and will look at the performance of the two parties during this time - the 16 years of Obama and Clinton, the 15 plus years of the Bushes and Trump. What the data shows is that America has prospered and made progress when Democrats have been in power, and fallen behind, again and again, when Republicans have held the White House. If you'd like to attend, you can register for the event here.
Friday, May 22nd, 2pm - NDN Talks With Frank Foer: We're excited to host a discussion next Friday with Frank Foer, staff writer for the Atlantic and former editor of the New Republic. Frank published an expose in the Atlantic earlier this week about Russia's intervention in the 2016 election and how the Kremlin has continued to interfere in our democracy in the run-up to the 2020 election, and he will discuss the article and his findings with Simon during this talk. You can read his piece here, and register for the event here.
Wednesday, May 27th, 2pm - “With Dems, Things Get Better” Webinar: We will also be having another showing of our "With Dems, Things Get Better" webinar on May 27th. If you'd like to register for this event, please click here.
Friday, May 29th, 2pm - NDN Talks With Rep. Derek Kilmer: Please join us on May 29th for a discussion with Rep. Derek Kilmer, Chair of the New Democrat Coalition. We will be discussing the House's response to the health and economic crises caused by coronavirus, and the NDC's legislative priorities in the second half of the year. If you'd like to attend this event, you can register here.
We hope you can join us!
Sincerely,
Chris
